PRICE OF LOVE
Pre-pandemic the average cost of a wedding in the UK was £20,731. OK, it included the honeymoon but blimey that’s an awful lot of money.
Especially as a legal register office ceremony will set you back just £46.
Don’t panic if you can’t afford a flashy do though, because the secret to a long marriage is to keep the wedding cheap.
A new study by the Marriage Foundation has shown that nearly 10% of marriages that started with a wedding costing more than £20k broke down within three years – twice the overall divorce rate of 5%.
Love, honour and don’t pay!
